This is the very first episode of the Back Em' Down podcast. There will be a part two talking about the bottom five teams fighting for the 8th spot in the West. The last seven NBA Champions have posted a top-five offensive rating during the regular season, and all but one of them had a top-10 defensive rating. The 2018 Warriors were the only recent champion with a defensive rating outside of the top-10 at 11th. All seven of those teams finished with a top-four net rating/point differential. The only champion of this century with a net rating lower than 4.1 were the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers.
